Empath Lyrics - The Echoing Green

Welcome to this place they call the human race 

But I just can't keep up 

This little planet in space, this ship of human grace 

Has gone bottoms up 

When we turn our eyes 

(From the damage we see on the TV screen) 

(We never lock eyes, never hear them scream) 

Our passion compromised 

We've traded feelings for fun 

When we don't cry for no one 

Tell me where have we come 

When our compassion's out of fashion 

Our sensitivity overcome 

I feel so numb 

'Cause we don't cry for no one 

I see a picture of me stranded in the sea 

Of shallow felicity 

This cloak of unity that's being forced on me 

Is a fallacy 

When tears don't fall 

(when we see the pain of another man's lack) 

(walk right by and we never look back) 

Our shame is on the wall 

From conviction we run 

'Cause we don't cry for no one 

If I could see beyond my needs 

I'd see a face that's crying for me 

The Hand of Grace is on this place 

But we're blind to The Son... 

When we don't cry for no one 

(When will tears fall down?)
